Install LiteCart on Ubuntu 14.04 with Nginx, PHP-FPM and MySQL

In this tutorial we will explain how to install LiteCart on an Ubuntu 14.04 VPS with Nginx, PHP-FPM and MySQL.
LiteCart is a free e-commerce, feature rich e-commerce solution.

The framework is constructed to be lightweight and easy for developers to modify and build upon.

LiteCart relies on the latest HyperText standard HTML 5, the latest CSS 3 for styling, the jQuery framework for client-side dynamics, and the popular web scripting language PHP for server-side dynamics.

You should be in the /var/www/litecart directory. If so, enter the following command to set the proper file ownership:

chown www-data -R public_html/

To finish the LiteCart installation, open your favorite web browser and navigate to http://your_domain . You will be welcomed by the installer. Check if your server meets the System Requirements. If some extensions or settings need to be enabled, you should install/enable them before proceeding. After that is done, fill in the database credentials in the MySQL field under the Installation Parameters section. Then choose your username and password for the LiteCart administration backend. After everything is done, click on Install Now.

After the installation is completed, you should delete the install directory in /var/www/litecart/

That’s it. You have successfully installed LiteCart on your Ubuntu 14.04 VPS. For more information about LiteCart, please refer to their wiki.
